MAY 2013 POST-OP GROUP

[Meganrvan89 11]

I hear you. I felt pretty pathetic' date=' too. It is going to get better real soon! I am about 16 days out and can't believe I was so weak such a short time ago. My stomach is still very sore, and I haven't quite gotten the rhythm of eating, snacking, sipping, etc. but I feel pretty normal otherwise. You've just had major surgery! Hang in there, and be kind to yourself.[/quote']

I sure hope so, I know it will get better but not being able to do anything sucks but I've been doing some things. Yea I'm afraid that is going to be the hardest part.. I hope the soar ness gets easier faster sleeping is the hardest

I just had my first major outing with the kids to a playoff game. I packed the cooler with healthy Snacks for the kids along with Water and Protein packs for me. I kept forgetting to sip water, and put off my shake. Not a good idea. I got pretty lightheaded and dizzy. When I did have my shake, I drank it too fast and got sick. It took about an hour to get myself straightened out. But I still made it through alive! Note; concession food was not tempting at all. Yay!

Hi everyone. I had my lap band removed and revised over to the RNY may 14. Almost 2weeks post op, starting weight 287, today's weight 271. I am really happy about my loss. I have a lot of pain still from where the port was on my lap band. They had to cut into my abdominal wall to remove it, so when I stand it takes the breath out of me. I have to admit I am struggling with my liquids. Everything is like cotton candy times 1000!!!! I was so hungry yesterday that I ate 5 small crackers, chewed to liquid and I felt so much better. I told my dietitian, and she said to not worry about it. Has this happened to anyone else???

I get in about 64 oz of Water (flavored with fresh lemon). Then for food I typically am getting in 3 small meals and 1 snack. My snack is a Protein Shake. And example of one day of meals would be. Breakfast cottage cheese. lunch. Greek yogurt. dinner. Veggie burger.

Since 1.5 weeks out, I get hungry. Not head hunger either, legit need to eat. No cravings though which helps.
